Product: |
CSS1000 Cigarette Side Seam - Gravity |
Application: |
The application of aqueous dispersion adhesive (PVA) fed by gravity, to the side seam of a cigarette rod, on a cigarette making machine. |
Overview: |
The original kaymich Gravity Fed Side Seam adhesive application system, designed to apply adhesive to the side seam of the cigarette paper on a low speed making machine. |
GRAVITY FEED
APPLICATOR
Can the nozzle on the Kaymich glue applicator be replaced as a single part?
No. The needle and nozzle are machined as a matched pair to ensure the integrity of the seal.
Are the nozzles available with different diameter outlet?
Yes. 0.8mm, 1.0mm, 1.5mm and 2.0mm as standard, other sizes on request
How can we determine the correct replacement needle and nozzle?
The simplest way is to provide Kaymich with the glue applicator serial number located in the keyway. Otherwise confirmation of the nozzle diameter and host making machine is required.
GRAVITY
How do we adjust the amount of adhesive applied to the cigarette rod?
The flow rate of the adhesive is controlled by the rear adjuster on the applicator; this determines the distance the needle retracts from the nozzle and hence, adhesive flow.
Is the application relative to machine speed?
Yes, the Venturi pressure drop principle is created by the cigarette paper and air passing over the end of the nozzle. It is therefore self-regulating.
What types of glue can be used?
Synthetic resin emulsion – PVA or EVA, viscosity range 150 – 1500 centipoise with solids content 45% to 55%.
What making machine speed can the system handle?
Depending upon materials, up to 8000cpm.
